SAW ADMIRAL SCHLEY.

Robert Heinl TeXls of & Visit to the Cruiser Brooklyn, Where He Saw ttee. Hero of Santiago.

One of the brightest boys in the city, is Robert Heinl, son of Mr. and Mrs. John G. Heinl, who is spending his vacation in New York, and vicinity, the guest of his annt, Mrs. C. B. Mailloux, formerly Miss Emma Debs. He has the ability to write a most interesting letter, and the following description of a visit to the Brookyln, and the return of the 71st New York, will prove of interest to the Mail readers. Under date of August 27th he wrote:

This has been a great day with me, in fact one of the best since I have been here —guess who I saw to-day? Rear Admiral Schley.

I was not satisfied with my first visit to Tomkinsville, because I went on board the Massachusetts more to please Mr. Wagner and his friend. Of course she is a fine big ship, but it was not in any of the fighting, so she is not nearly so famous as the Brooklyn or Indiana. So I started out with the avowed triple purpose of seeing the Vesuvius and Brooklyn and to see the return of 71st New York regiment from Montauk point.

I took the Staten Island Ferry for St. George—the nearest ferry station to Tompkinsville. Just as our boat passed Governor Island, the vessels in the fleet started saluting. First the Brooklyn fired thirteen, then the Texas thirteen, then the Brooklyn seven in answer, then the Yankee thirteen, to all of which the Brooklyn answered with seven guns—followed by the Harvard and the Yale. It was all in honor of Rear Admiral Schley, who had just returned from Washington and boarded his ship. The saluting was grand and it set the people on' the ferry boats wild. As soon as we touched at St. George I ran for my life to the trolley car, and rode to Tompkinsville, then I boarded a steam launch for the Brooklyn. The bay was very choppy and we had some trouble making fast to the Brooklyn. Some one yelled "there is Schley," and sure enough there on the rear deck was the now Rear Admiral Schley. You should have seen me climbing those steps. Schley was in conversation with Commodore Philipps of the Texas, Captain Cook of the Brooklyn, Captain Cotton of the Harvard, and Captain Wise. They were looking over some papers. He^looks just like his pictures. I watched him talking for about fifteen or twenty minutes. I was only about fifteen feet away from the group and could catch an occasional work. Finally they went down to the Admiral's Cabin. Then I made the rounds of the ship with other visitors and was nicely treated by the sailors, reaching the deck just as Schley was saying to Captain Cotton at parting, "Goodbye old man, was awfully glad to see you," Then he disappeared again below. While on deck the Texas, which was lying about two blocks away, hailed the Brooklyn through the megaphone, giving three cheers for Rear Admiral Schley. The officer of the deck was very much pleased, and he called the crew up from dinner, who at his command gave three cheers for the Texas and Commander Philipp. Then in return the Texas gave'three more cheers. Wasn't that great.

On my return to New York, just as our ferry approaching her pier, here came two ferry boats, carrying the 71st New York regiment home. Here was one of the most beautiful as well as one of the saddest sights I ever saw. This regiment went to Cuba with 1043 men and officers, 109 men in a company. To-day when they came home, less than four hundred were able to walk thirty men was the largest any company had, and seventeen the least number. One poor fellow died just as reveille was sounded at Montauk this morning for the regiment to come home.

Two bands played "Home, Sweet Home." A cheer was started, but it soon ceased and the people listened in silence. The soldiers were too weak to cheer. There were not many dry eyes, I tell you— and such a crowd you could hardly conceive. Broadway to Waverly Place, Fifth Avenue, from there to the Armory in Thirty-fourth street, was simply one mass of human beings.

I could not view the parade at the battery, so I went up to Thirty-second and Fifth Avenue, near Woldorf Astoria, to 71st regiment armory. After standing in this immense crowd for about two hours the parade came, and it would jutt make your heart ache to have seen those poor soldiers yellow as a gourd, that is the way the men without exception looked. Some were assisted by comrades, and amid the

terrific cheering, some of the poor fellows hardly 'looked up. After the marching men, the remnant of the regiment, came the sick and wounded in carriages and ambulances. When they brought the old battle flag.everybody's hat went off and a band stationed upon the Waldorf Astoria played "The Star Spangled Banner."

My thoughts all turned to the condition of our poor soldiers—you cannot imagine the ravages of that fever.

AMUSEMENTS.

At. O. FIELD'S MIX8TRELS, AT THE GRAND The spectacular in stage productions is getting more in vogue yearly. The idea of the first part of the Al. G. Field Greater Minstrels, which will open the season at the Grand, Tuesday night, is a novel one and calls for more scenery and effects than were ever employed in a minstrel stage production. Instead of the regulation medley of popular airs with a little of the higher grades of music, the opening musical number is entitled the "Gathering of the Nations." Flags of all nations are brought on the stage by flag bearers, costumed to represent the country whose flag they bear. There is a grouping of the flags while the band plays and the vocalists sing the natioual anthems of the different country, concluding the overture with the "Star Spangled Banner." The stage setting for the first act is entitled the Al. G. Field Minstrels at the Paris Exposition. The scenery will represent the garden of the Tuileries, the Triumphal Arch, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and the river Seine, with its bridges. At the end of the first part the music from the opera "Faust" will be introduced. The soprano solo, with organ accompaniment, will be heard in Notre Dame, at the extreme rear of the stage the male chorus from the street. It will undoubtedly be one of the big stage productions of the year. It will take a larger number of singers to produce it than was ever carried by a minstrel company before. The Risely act by the Faust family will be another of the big features. This family numbers seven people. Their act is said to be one of the acrobatic novelties of the age.

Cheap Money.

We hear much of cheap money in the east, but when the technicalities, delays, vexations, commission and charges are all counted, the borrower finds it far cheaper to go the Terre Haute Trust Company when he wants a loan or mortgage on good real estate, or on collateral security of bonds, or building and loan stock. It is a home institution, it has the money on hand and makes loans in amounts to suit borrowers on the most accommodating terms without delay, and at as low rates as the eastern companies. Why have the delays and vexations of dealing with the agents of eastern companies when you can be accommodated on better terms at home. If you want a loan go direct to the Terre Haute Trust company. -.

If you are looking for a Camera go to headquarters, which is Baur's Pharmacy. You will find in stock Eastman's Premos, Bo-Peeps, Rays, Monroes, Wizards, and if you want one we do not have in stock, we can get it for you on short notice.

Where Hearing Ceases.

Lord Rayleigh, in a lecture, said that experiments had shown that a vibration of sound having an amplitude of less thfin oue-twelve-millionth of a centimeter could still affect the sense oi hearing.

Such a vibration would be so short that it would have to be enlarged 100 times before the most powerful microscope could render it visible, supposing that it were susceptible of being seen at all.

Old people, he said, do not hear high notes which are audible to young persons, and there is reason to believe that babies hear notes whioh are inaudible to their elders.—London Mail.

That Grand Air.

"Papa, I want a pug dog. They's so 'ristocratic lookin." "Bobby, what do you mean by aristocratio looking?" "W'y, they looks like they'd git hop pin mad if they had ter git a'qnainted with anybody."—Brooklyn Life.
